My Best Buy store here in San Diego, CA has an 8AM opening listed for Friday. Looks like I'll be picking one up before work :D
 
This is exciting news for consumers. The world will stop on Friday when iPad Air launches around the globe. Unfortunately supply will not meet unprecedented demand so a lot of people will witness the launch but leave stores empty handed.

My thought as well. I wish Apple would cut back on the countries it's released to first to avoid this.
 
You really think they would release it on the same day as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, respectively? Could you imagine the insanity?

Why? Apple sells neither. I don't see how it affects Apple & there are only 5 Fridays in Nov. We know it's not the first & unlikely to be the 29th (Black Friday). That leaves the 8th, 15th, & 22nd. It also seems unlikely Apple would have launches on back to back Fridays so the 8th drops. 15th & 22nd last dates standing.
